Slice settings

Print speed: It is the speed (in mm/s) at which the nozzle moves while printing. A higher print speed will lead to a shorter print time, while a poorer print quality.

Infill speed: It is the speed at which the infill material is printed.

Travel speed: It is the speed at which the nozzle moves when it's not extruding.

Support type: Some models have overhanging parts. In this case, you must print a support structure under the model to prevent these parts from falling down. Support structures can be removed after printing.

model with support structure model without support structure

There are three options to place the support structure for the models: everywhere, touching build plate, or none. None: This option is suitable for models with big bottom and small top, such as cylindrical, conical and cubic models, as well as models with simple structure or gentle slope angle.

Touching build plate: If the overhanging parts float mid-air and there's no model below it, support material will be printed under these parts. This option is suitable for models that have internal cavities, such as whistles and clarinets.

Everywhere: Support material is printed below every part that needs support.
